Application Areas:
- Accurate measurement of tank levels in pharmaceutical production processes
- Installation of level meters to ensure high efficiency and stability in production
- High-precision level measurement solutions that meet stringent industry hygiene standards
Background:
In biopharmaceutical production, the precise management of liquids in storage tanks is crucial. As production processes become more complex, many tanks are used to store various liquids, including solvents, reaction liquids, pharmaceutical intermediates, and pure water. In such environments, level measurement technologies must address the challenges of high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive liquids while ensuring accuracy and long-term stability of data.
Traditional level measurement devices, while meeting requirements in some cases, are often affected by factors such as changes in liquid media, external interference, and equipment wear and tear, especially in complex production conditions. This leads to imprecise monitoring of tank levels and can even compromise the safety and quality of the entire production process.
Measurement Requirements:
In the pharmaceutical industry, tank level measurements must have extremely high precision and stability. Variations in the type of liquid, temperature fluctuations, and potential interference from bubbles and steam all make traditional level meters prone to measurement errors. Therefore, the production line requires an advanced level measurement technology that can provide real-time, precise level data under complex environmental conditions and comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s strict hygiene, safety, and reliability standards.
Solution:
To improve the accuracy and reliability of level measurement, our client adopted the 80GHz millimeter-wave radar level meter. This radar level meter emits high-frequency millimeter-wave signals and accurately measures the tank level based on the reflection of these waves. Due to the narrow beam angle of the millimeter waves, it effectively avoids errors under complex media conditions and is insensitive to factors like bubbles, steam, and temperature changes, ensuring stable operation.
Unlike traditional contact-based level meters, the millimeter-wave radar level meter offers the advantage of non-contact measurement, avoiding issues caused by wear, contamination, or leakage from contact parts. The level meter is also highly resistant to interference and can operate stably in corrosive liquids and high-temperature environments, ensuring long-term measurement stability.
User Benefits:
After adopting the 80GHz millimeter-wave radar level meter, the measurement accuracy of tank levels was significantly improved, particularly when dealing with liquids that are susceptible to temperature fluctuations, bubbles, or steam interference. The radar level meter provided accurate readings without error. Since the device operates non-contact, it reduced the hygiene risks and maintenance issues common with traditional level meters.
Moreover, the installation process did not require production stoppage or modifications to existing piping, greatly reducing downtime and installation time. The device’s intelligent features made it easier to integrate seamlessly with existing automation systems, thereby enhancing overall production line efficiency and data accuracy. The radar level meter’s high durability and low maintenance requirements further reduced operational costs, improving production stability and reliability.
Conclusion:
By introducing the 80GHz radar level meter, the accuracy and stability of tank level measurements were significantly improved. This solution effectively eliminated the errors and hygiene issues that traditional equipment may cause, ensuring that level data during the production process is always reliable and precise, providing strong support for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
